If you will note, Plan #10 is the Push Up, which is also Chapter 10 of Keith's book. Dave basically reprinted the 4 pages that had the plan. In 2013, I forwarded to Steve of Outerzone a plan that I had made from copies of the book pages. I borrowed Keith's book from a library some 6 years earlier. After scanning the pages, I used graphics editing software to join those partials plus add the isometric. I also mirrored the half top view and elevator, so they would be complete along with elevator, plus joined the tip portion of rudder to it. A little clean up, rescaling the drawing full size (book was 2/3rd scale at 20" to fit pages) and now I had something I could build from.

The best of plans overtook me, one of these days I will build Push Up, may be even upsize it twice for .10 or .15 power (60" wingspan, has high aspect ratio - narrower width for length wing area is within .10 power). I could cover it like a WW2 Stinson L-5 with invasion stripes, then call it the Military Push Up.
